consider providing me a set of outline co-ordinates? if so, here are some reference numbers: length 10’, round-pin, tail 15 3/8", wide point 23 1/2" at just about dead center, nose 18 1/4", (14 3/4" at 6" from nose, and 11" at 3" from nose). this is all approximation, so your input is appreciated as always. thanks, ramon

It wedges between center and nose. I’ll be okay, but i just hurt my head. I’ll work up a proposal as soon as I’m better.
Hi Coitenly, Here are some numbers to mark on your template to use as a guide for the templates. They will get you real close to where you’re going. Remember the lines have to be like water. Numbers are just guidelines. Please don’t consider these case in stone but they will, I’m quite sure, give you the lines you’re looking for. It’ll be a great all around shape! and a great nose rider if you do the rocker rails and bottom right. Good luck! 10.0"x18.25"x23.5x15.375"x3.125" Widths taken from in one foot increments from the tail. 3" – 7.0" 6" – 11.125" 1’ – 15.375" 2’ – 20.25" 3’ – 22.50" 4’ – 23.25" 5’ – 23.50" 6’ – 23.375" 7’ – 22.50" 8’ – 21.25" 9’ – 18.25" Gone Surfin’, Rich
thanks Noodle…i hope it wasn’t me who hurt your head! all i can say is get well soon!>>> I tried your numbers, but the outline is too excentric for my program. It > wedges between center and nose.>>> I’ll be okay, but i just hurt my head. I’ll work up a proposal as soon as > I’m better.
thanks for the numbers, and the vote of confidence…Noodle’s got a program that produces outline measurements at every inch. of course i’ll eyeball it real good, but the last set he gave me produced a gorgeous flowing curve. i barely touched it. i’m going for a wider, squared off kind of nose this time…i hope that’s not what he had trouble with yesterday. ramon>>> Here are some numbers to mark on your template to use as a guide for the > templates.

Ramon, Thanks for your concern. While working on my bent bike yesterday, my 2 hp grinder threw a pound of jagged steel into my head. I escaped with a nasty cut and bump + some residual dizzy spells. Couldn’t get my brain around much, but I’m much better now. Thank goodness it only hit my head, and nothing vital! You’ve designed a board with a very stubby nose, then straight rails back to a wide middle. Nice design, but my program still won’t do that. It works on natural curves. Here’s the natural equivalent. Maybe you can use the tail, or use it as a basis for freehanding the nose.

thanks Noodle! i’ll work it out from here. this is my first longboard, so the more info i can get from reliable sources, the better. i can’t believe you’re a framebuilder, too!! definitely watch out for flying cro-moly tubes. although i know that cyclists like to say “flesh heals, campagnolo doesn’t”.
I test rode my bent before the accident. Today I start tearing it apart for filling and finishing. I had the dambdest time alligning the rear triangle. I discovered that I could tack weld angle receivers to the boom, and tack weld allthread rods to the triangle ends. I turned nuts on the rods to get the allignment exact, then welded the triangle to the boom. Worked great! After the bike, I’ll start on my wife’s tadpole trike. Can’t wait!
that’s very clever…tack weld the alignment system on, align, weld, and remove?? i guess it’s more economical than building a ‘one time only’ jig…i bet there’s nothing comparable to swaylock’s on the web for frame building enthusiasts, is there??>>> I test rode my bent before the accident.
